Barber Shop History and How it has Changed in Modern Times

The profession of the hair barber has been around since at least the 1950s as a mainstay of hiring a person to cut and groom with the intention of making what many consider a “mop” or excessive long hair into shorter and more manageable hair. This really helps when doing things like washing in the shower and combing back for the day ahead , this practice is known to trace back to the year 2000 BC when tribes would use items similar to our modern day scissors for trimming a beard or something similar. Even though back then nothing was required for electricity the people back in those days were able to make men look decent for their female counterparts during different events and functions where it’s best to have a clean cut, an example of this could be something relating to an outside project or a gathering especially in the Summertime when the weather is hot.

When I got my first haircut I had a high chair that I sat in at my barber shop called Buffalo Barber which opened in 1950 and of course since it’s first opening has been serving my community with awesome service and you can see that in the way the staff treats you. I honestly think the people of the time before Christ would be pretty surprised to find that we now have these devices which get the job of a haircut done more quickly and efficiently then in previous times. Technology has made a difference in the life of people when it comes to getting trimmed up.
